Not for the Adult Mind

Rating: 5/10 (29 January 2014)

Giant, multi piloted robots fighting giant monsters? Sounds like power rangers. This is an old idea. I think the movie was OK, but the anime theme was distracting, unnecessary and alienated the bulk of the target market. *NEWS FLASH* More people DON'T watch anime than do.
For all it's special effects budget, the robots were slow, clumsy, fought mostly with ineffective punching, and towards the end, began wielding swords that they had all along, but just never thought to use. Fun for the kids, but the glaring plot holes, anime clothing/haircuts, & the unimpressive acting will leave serious movie-goers wanting. Subpar work, Mr. Del Toro.
